Things To Do

Swami's Beach

Our favorite beach, just below the meditation gardens!

Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation Gardens

A very special place to us! Enjoy the beautiful views from the top.

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve

One of our favorite hikes in the area. A ~15 min drive north of Encinitas, there is an amazing hike up the cliff and down the beach.

Annie's Canyon Trail

A cool slot canyon - a short 30 minute walk. NOTE - not for the faint of heart - it gets narrow in places!

Pacific Coast Grill

One of our favorite places for oceanfront dining.

Las Olas

No frills stop in Cardiff for some beachfront tacos and margs.

Cardiff Seaside Market

Go for the experience, stay for the Cardiff Crack.

Encinitas Fish Shop

Try to beat Jake’s record of four fish tacos in five minutes.

Surfdog's Java Hut

Good for coffee and light bites

Union Kitchen and Tap

Fun for dinner, drinks or game watching

Honey's Bistro & Bakery

Cute casual breakfast and lunch spot. Wait can be long but it’s worth it.

Lotus Cafe & Juice Bar

Vegan friendly cafe in town.

The Baked Bear

Ice cream and freshly baked cookies in a sandwich. Jake also holds a record here.

Aloha Cowboy

Fun speakeasy right in town

Better Buzz Coffee Encinitas

The Taco Stand

Well worth it if you can survive the line!

Four Moons Spa

If you saved any time for R&R, this is an amazing experience!

Nectarine Grove

Healthy spot for coffee, breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Buona Forchetta - Encinitas

Authentic Italian spot in Leucadia

Pannikin Coffee & Tea

Great coffee & pastries in a building that was originally a train station.
